In Moscow, mourners brave the risk of arrest to come and pay their respects at the funeral of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The ceremony comes two weeks after he died in an Arctic prison -- a death that his supporters have blamed on Russian President Vladimir Putin. IMAGES
Hundreds of people gather in front of the Russian embassy in Berlin, a few hours after the announcement of the death of the Kremlin's most prominent critic Alexei Navalny in an Arctic prison, according to Russian officials. "Today, the Russian government has probably murdered Alexei Navalny," says a speaker. Navalny lost consciousness on Friday and could not be revived by medics, the Russian prison service says. IMAGES
As Zambians await the results of the presidential election, supporters of Hakainde Hichilema, leader of the United Party for National Development (UPND) and long-time rival of President Edgar Lungu, gather outside the opposition party offices in the capital Lusaka. IMAGES
Thousands of supporters of Alexei Navalny take to the streets of Moscow to protest his detention and back calls for the hunger-striking Kremlin critic to be given proper medical care. Defying warnings and a huge police presence, the protesters in Moscow march through the city centre near the Kremlin chanting "Freedom", just hours after President Vladimir Putin delivered his annual state of the nation address.
